High school to perform murder mystery

STANDISH — Students from Standish-Sterling Central High School will hit the stage April 22-24 to perform “Ten Little Indians,” a play by Agatha Christie based on her original novel “And Then There Were None.”

The 16-member cast and crew have been practicing for about 6 1/2 weeks and had five-hour-long rehearsals earlier this week in preparation for the performance.

“Ten Little Indians” is the story of several people who have been invited to join Mr. and Mrs. Owen on an island paradise. The guests find themselves trapped on the island, hearing unnerving secrets from a murderous villain. The guests begin to accuse each other of the crimes, and the audience must piece together subtle clues throughout the play to figure out who really is the killer.

Performances will be April 22-24 at 7 p.m. in the SSC auditorium. A special dessert festival will be held during Saturday night’s intermission. Regular admission is $5 for students and $6 for adults and $8 for students and $10 for adults for those wishing to participate in the dessert festival on Saturday.
